Empowering the people who start fires to determine what we can and cannot say is how freedom of speech dies in this country.

◼ An Op-Ed by Sarah Chayes in The Los Angeles Times, ‘Innocence of Muslims’ doesn’t meet free-speech test sets forth the standard by which freedom of speech dies in this country - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
◼ Does 'Innocence of Muslims' meet the free-speech test? - Sarah Chayes/LA Times
◼ I call on Lewis to repudiate Chayes's use of his words. He can't possibly agree with her opinion, can he? There's a way an interviewer can lead a person along until he gives her the quotes that she wants. I note that Lewis is elderly (85). This appropriation of his reputation is embarrassing for him. But if he actually agrees and wants to put that out there: Make it clear. (And present. And dangerous.) - Althouse
